120027 AR Literature Course (interactive) = Literature 1/2 (MA) British/Irish/New English = Excursion (2010S)

Apart from play-going (the exact titles of plays will be announced as theatre schedules become available during the spring), we will study the theatre scene as such by exploring different venues and their role and significance for English theatre history as a whole, e.g. the Royal Court (experimental and contemporary), the National Theatre (theatre for the nation), the West End (commercial). Naturally, we will also see a Shakespeare play in the reconstructed Globe Theatre (Shakespeare's Globe). And there will be opportunities to inspect major sights of London which hold a special appeal to students of British culture (e.g. BBC, British Museum, British Library, Bloomsbury).
